MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning should be carried out with water and if necessary, gentle soap. If the glider comes in contact with salt water, clean thoroughly
with fresh water.
Do not use solvents of any kind
, as this may remove the protective coatings and destroy the fabric.
19
STORAGE
When the glider is not in use, the glider should be stored in a cool, dry place. A wet glider should first be dried (out of direct sunlight).
Protect the glider against sunlight (UV radiation). When on the hill keep the glider covered or in the bag. Never store or transport the
glider near paint, petrol or any other chemicals.
Do not leave your paraglider in the trunk of a car or exposed to the sun.
Temperatures on a hot summer’s day in a closed environment: car, etc. can easily reach over 60ºC
At these temperatures Nylon permanently changes its characteristics which may alter the behaviour and shape of the wing.
It will cause permanent damage to the paraglider, rendering it non-airworthy. APCO’s warranty will not be applicable.

DAMAGE
Using spinnaker repair tape (for non-siliconized cloth) can repair tears in the wing (up to 5cm). A professional repair facility should repair
greater damage.
